My new patent on a secure execution environment

2013-02-05

I recently got a US patent application granted by the Patent and Trademark Office. The patent bears the title "Device, System, and Method of Securely Executing Applications".

This patent is a result of work I did in Discretix Technologies, together with Sara Bitan, on the specification of a hardware-based system that allows multiple mutually-distrusting secure applications to run on the same platform without one application being able to compromise the secrecy of data processed by the other. Among other advantages, this technology allows running secure code in a secure execution environment without having this code have to be certified. Faulty code may cause the compromise of its own assets, but will not risk assets of other applications on the platform.
